his family sat out on the from,
steps unti il quite late, and when
the major got up aud went inio
his room he had not noticed that
his praDkish little son had slipped
away. Just as the major stepped
into his room DC heard something
nnder the bed-iu fact, SAW some
thing-and, thinking that a robber
had secreted himself there, he
seized pistol aud fred under the
bed, and
Wife-Merciful heavens, and
shot his little son?
Husband-Who said he shot his

Wife-Yuu said that his son
went under the bed2
Husband-I didn't.
Wife-Whst did you say?
Husband-I said the major did
not notice his son when he slipped
away from the front steps.
Wife (still excited)-And was

Day and Night

During an acute attack Of Bronchitis, a
ceaseless tickling in the throat, and an
exhausting, hacking cough, affiict the
sufferer. Sleep is banished, and great
prostration follows. This disease is also
attended with Hoarseness, and some
times Loss of Voice. 1t is liable to be-
come chronic, involve the lungs, and
terminate fatally. Ayers Cherry Pecto-
raj affords speedy relief and cure in cases
o. Bronchitis. It controls the disposition
to cough, and induces refreshing sleep.

fel' graph Com any for $l25 ,000, less
than half what she had cost 7 years
before. This company removed all her
internal passenger accommodations to
make room for the enormous iron
tanks in which the cable was stored.
For this service she proved admirably
adapted, but when the cable was once
laid she was again put ON the shelf
until 1867, the year of the Paris Inter-
national Exhibition. She was then
chartered by a number of spectators
to carry passengers from New York to
Havre, as they expected that there
would be great rush OF visl-
tors and that large proht
would accrue even after paying
the enormous expense connected with
the refitting and manning the boat.
THE SPECULATION FAILURE.
But alas the speculation proved an
| utter failure and the Great Eastern
was once more docked awaiting offers
from anyone who would be willing to
take such an "old man of the woous"
on their shoulders. A year afterwards
a number of capitalists conceived the
idea that she would be just the thing
to convey sheep and live stock from
Australia to England owing to
the enormous cargo that she
would be able to convey at
one time and the great difference
| in the prices of the animals in the
two countries. But this venture
also proved unfortunate-the passage
occupied too much time, and when
the cost of the feed of the animals
had been added to the expense OF
running the boat, it was soon dlscov-
cred that the results were not finan-
cialIy successful. In 1869 she drifted
back into her former employment OF
cable-laying for which she seemed
more suitable than any
thing else that had been
tried, and between that time and 1874
she successfully laid some of the most
important telegraphic cables across
the Atlantic, in thu Mediterranean, in
the Red Sea, across the Indian Ocean,
across the equator from Europe to
Brazil, etc.

disuse, and laid in Milford Haven,
off Wales. (the harbor capable of con-
tanning all the navies of the world) for
the next twelve years, when she was
sent to Liverpool, arriving there on
May, s, 1886. The next project
mooted was to send her to the New
Orleans Exposition and transform her
into an immense floating hotel, but
those who we're at first interested in
the subject, remembering her former
history, evidently decided that the
financial risk was too great a one to
be run and the scheme finally fell
through. Who has now bought her
and for what purpose, the telegraph
has not yet stated, hut it is possible
that she will shortly be presented
to the world under new
role and having her previous exper-
fences to guide them, her new owners
will probably make departure from
any character in which she has hither-
to appeared-unless it be that she is
to be once more engaged in her for
mer employment of cable-carrying.

THE COMING RUSH.
Interesting Gossip from Major
Trum man.


The following interesting items re-
lating to Los Angeles and Los Ange-
lefios reach us in a private letter from
Major B. G. Truman, dated Boston,
October 18th.
The travel from here and elsewhere
in the East is going to be tremendous
from now on. Nineteen out OF every
twenty book themselves for Southern
Caiifornia-principally Los Angeles,
Pasadena, San Diego, Riverside and
Santa Monica and San Bernardino, in
about the way l place them.. The
Florida hotel keepers are in confusion,
as they see and admit that the Flor
idian tide has turned toward Cali
fornia. Nothing can now turn the
winter travel any other way.
You will see all the hotels
crowded in December. In November,
Raymond & Whitcomb will send out
their first instalment of twelve winter
parties in the superbest train that
ever crossed the continent.
Who should | see yesterday but
Denker, formerly OF Hammel, Denker
q Carter, of Pasadena, coming up
Washington street, arm in arm. l
also saw Spence and Mrs. Spence at
the Grand in Paris, just before leav-
ing for New York, and also pretty
Miss Lanfranco and three other Califor-
mia rosebuds, under the care of an old
maid OF honor OF San Francisco.
Georgie Truman went up on the
nier de glace ON Mont Blanc with me,
and l may write you about it some
day. We were at Chamonix on the
day of the centenary celebration OF
the first ascent of Mont Blanc, and
saw all the mountains around illumi-
mated with fires, one OF which was
half way up the wonderful Mon,
Blanc.
